50 Best American Restaurants near Coal Valley

“Best bar on the Illinois side“

“Love coming, great selection of Bourbon which I love. Lately, it seems like everytime we come in we are unable to get Pizza l, which is fantastic. Really need to have all your cooks trained on Pizza so you don't lose a big part of your menu when someone doesn't show up.“

“Stepping into Me & Billy’s in Davenport felt like teeing it up on a perfect Saturday—everything lined up just right. From the opening drive, Morgan and Cassidy set the tone. They played the round like seasoned pros: attentive without hovering, polite, and always one step ahead. Their cocktail game was pure shot-making—creative, well balanced, and happily customized to fit exactly what we were looking for. No mis-hits anywhere. The food? Absolute center-face contact. The chicken and dumpling soup was warm, comforting, and full of flavor—like a reliable approach shot that sticks the green. And the ribeye steak sandwich was the ace of the day: cooked beautifully, packed with flavor, and truly out of this world. That’s the kind of shot you talk about long after the round is over. The atmosphere sealed the win. With SantaCon rolling through downtown, the place turned into a holiday scramble—30 to 40 Santas stopping in, high spirits everywhere, and a festive energy that made the whole experience even more memorable. It felt like playing in a charity tournament where everyone’s having a blast and every hole is a good time. All in all, Me & Billy’s delivered a flawless round—great service, outstanding food, and a lively environment. Easily a clubhouse-worthy finish, and absolutely a place we’ll be coming back to. 🏌️‍♂️🎅“

“Jasmine was excellent waitress! Fast and very friendly! Just love her!🩷🩷“

“I don’t just review restaurants for no reason. Culver’s is Culver’s in terms of food, but the employees here are exceptional. They are friendly, accommodating and go out of there way to make dining here a good experience. I’m not from the area but ate here twice in the last few days and was blown away by how great the staff was. Kudos to this location, they’ve got it figured out.“

“stopped in to get a quick bite to eat while waiting for the bus. the atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly and very helpful and they have the best taco salad around! whenever I'm back in Davenport I'll be sure to stop by again“

“Aunt Beas is the type of place the locals keep secret. The type of place where the food is made with heart. Real southern home cooking! Everything, I ate was delicious and fair priced. Come try you some!“

“Grew up eating porkies. Glad to see their food and prices still beat others. Home cooked food and great prices. 3 dinners cost me $23. Anywhere else I go the least I pay for 3 dinners is $40. Do not sleep on porkies! Breakfast and dinner, both are good and never disappoint.“

“I LOVE that you don't have Miller lite-bud light-coors lite on tap! only your own beer!“

“I try to never give 5 stars because someone once told me that if you were to give top ratings to everyone and everything then noone would ever try to improve. And in my humble opinion, you should always strive and there's always room for improvement! They nailed the atmosphere tho! Not the run of the mill antique overload restaurant but very nicely blending industrial modern decor keeping it simple but classy. Very Midwest!“

“I miss working there. all the customers, and the fun just working with Mickey, Bill, and, my love to hate and love to just be near kelly“

“Yesterday, Thanksgiving 2025, we experienced the Riverfront Grille for the first time. The staff were happy to see us, friendly and very attentive. Second, the food was outstanding. Turkey and ham were done to perfection, a variety of salads, soups and sides were homemade and delicious. Lastly, the overall experience (including desert) on a busy day was wonderful. Thank you Riverfront Grille…looking forward to our next visit…highly recommend them.“

“Last night we went to Chevin's Kitchen and Catering located inside Kavanaugh’s Hilltop Bar and Grill in Rock Island. This is the second time we have stopped in recently for the daily special. We are so glad we did. From the prompt greeting by the servers and bar staff to the made to order burger sliders with fresh cut fries everything was AMAZING! Our servers were on top of it and so friendly. The food was GREAT! If you haven’t checked this place out yet or if you have forgotten about one of the oldest bars in the neighborhood don’t snooze on this! Great food and great service! We can’t wait to go back! — at Kavanaugh's Hilltop.“

“Karen was great! She made sure we had everything we wanted and explained the menu items when we asked questions. The kitchen staff made our food quickly and the food was amazing! We were there for like 17 minutes total and took us 5 minutes to figure out what we wanted... that's 12 minutes to order and get our food! Incredible, at a non-fast food restaurant, especially when everything is made fresh!“

“This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint! The food was amazing, seasoned perfectly and the onion ring half order was still more than enough. They have a robot that takes the dirty dishes to the kitchen then back to a corner until next time. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. Will definitely go back.“

“Great butter burgers, fries, and hot sandwiches. The frozen custard is delicious and freshly made with your choice of mixins to make yummy concretes. Order at the counter & your food is delivered to your table, or use drive-in or pickup.“

“My family and I were very well accommodated by Colleen (manager) and Erica (server/bartender) for what was an amazing area to host a graduation dinner for family and friends. This private, elegant area would also make a great space for bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, etc. I was obsessed and we were so so lucky to have exceptional service for a short-notice event. We enjoyed the broad selection of drinks from the bar and the delicious food. My favorites were the Mo’ Dough appetizer and the Fowl Play turkey sandwich.“

“Outstanding food and the best coffee in QCA!!! Highly recommended and outstanding service!!!“

“I love Maid Rites. However it took HALF AN HOUR to get 4 Maid Rites. 😢😢 Maid Rite on Division St. (There were only 2 tables when I got there)“

“We chose Beef + Bourbon for our anniversary dinner yesterday. We made reservations ahead of time, and made a note with the reservation that it was our anniversary dinner. I'll get my disappointment over with first and move on to all of good. I wasn't happy with where we were seated. For whatever reason, we were stuck in the bar area. Our view to the left was the parking lot. The view to the right was the bar, which came with its own set of noise. And since we were on a main pathway, it was hard to have any conversation with the traffic and noise passing by every few minutes. I think I was expecting to sit in the beautiful other spaces they have available with dim lighting and a more romantic vibe, especially for an anniversary dinner. The food was absolutely mind blowing. Everything we had was cooked with so much thought and care. The beef medallion and crab cake appetizers really set the stage for the main course, which consisted of ribeye for both of us. Absolutely the best steak I've ever had. Tender, juicy, seasoned to perfection. My husband enjoyed asparagus with hollandaise as a side. I enjoyed a salad. Everything we devoured was absolutely top notch. Our waiter was awesome, Travis. He definitely took care of us as far as service. Very nice gentleman. I would give the food a 10000/10. I hope to be able to go back and give the ambiance another try. My fault for not speaking up while there or having the wrong set of expectations.“

“The course is BACK! I played here many times when it was previously open and I am so happy it is back! I went today with my family and the course was in great shape considering it was closed for many years. Do yourself a favor and golf a round! New carts, friendly staff, and great location!“

“The best handmade chocolates in the Midwest! Be sure to visit the original store in Moline to enjoy the quaint, early 1900’s surroundings.“

“Rather than stop at one of the busy chains, I decided to have my meal at the airport prior to my flight. It was a good choice. First, my server Pam was outstanding. She was attentive and professional. The restaurant is calm and quiet, and there is lots of room. The meal was cooked just as ordered, with eggs, sausage potatoes and an English Muffin. The prices are very reasonable. Next time in Quad Cities International, I'll eat here again.“

“It was an amazing experience! The server/bartender I think his name was fingers & he was so personable and made it a memorable experience for my mom’s birthday! The duck wontons are TO DIE FOR & that phoenix pizza is 🔥 ! The only complaint I have is the salad tasted like dirt you could tell the romaine wasn’t washed well or something cause I couldn’t get passed the overwhelming earthiness of my garlic salad . All the drinks were amazing & if I had to recommend just one it would definitely be the nerds martini! I will be back and I would definitely recommend this place for any birthday , anniversary or just a nice dinner! Don’t forget get a piece for that homemade cheesecake either 🫣“

“Came for the five dollar burger baskets on Monday. We had excellent service. The burger baskets were amazing. They accommodated our group of 10 with a smile. We will definitely be coming back. Shout out to our waitress Becky. She did an excellent job.“

“Nice vibe for sure I enjoyed the service and cleanliness. One thing I could bank on is that I definitely did better at The Lone Wolf then in the casino, hopefully they get back to even running side by side so we can keep are tabs paid up with all the big winnings. Thanks Lone Wolf!“

“Food is a 10 out of 10, service is a zero out of 10. Our service was Maddie and she needs to go back to waitress school. She is absolutely horrible, if I knew she was going to be my waitress the next time I went I would never go again. I could go into everything that she needs to improve on but not going to waste my time.“

“Soups are delicious 😋🤤. I am not big with fastfood 😔. I am not a big fan of this place. But, you don't have to worry about your order being @## up lol like "Mc Donalds" this place is very friendly, and a good place for a family outing.“

“The food is spectacular! Chef Jeremy is amazing!“

“Awesome staff. Very reasonable prices. Great food“

“This is an original Maid-Rite diner! It's well maintained and clean. If you love loose meat sandwichs, great breakfast and the Midwest's best handmade shakes stop here.
The waitress was friendly, nice, and made sure I had everything I needed.
It's an open kitchen so you can watch the cook prepare your food.
Comfortable booths, clean tables and lots of counter space.
I highly recommend this Maid-Rite.“

“Excellent beers and staff is fantastic“

“My boyfriend and I were trying to find a quick place to grab some food on his lunch break and we stumbled onto this place. We realized that it was an old Hardee's turned into a ma and Pa restaurant. The food was regular. The atmosphere was homie except Little gnats kept flying around us. When I mean regular for the food I mean like I think it was called a Colorado sandwich and it came out on a bun with chicken and bacon cheese and barbecue sauce. However, the barley soup that came with it as well was very good. The waitress was on her game and she was very kind. The inside looks a little scummy but waitresses is very kind.“

“Food was fire 🔥 customer service amazing. Big thanks to the chiefs working in the back too.“

“For the longest time I'd drive past and see the sign that appeared to just say Restaurant and say I should go to Restaurant and try food and say hi to waitress. Tonight my girlfriend and I finally stopped in and the whole experience was lovely and felt like the perfect cozy place to sit and enjoy a meal and each other's company. I ordered the western burger which was juicy and perfectly topped with BBQ sauce, pickle, bacon, tomato, and lettuce. My girlfriend had the most tender liver and onions I have ever seen in my life to where I was wondering if I should have ordered it myself. We did start with an appetizer of the onion rings. The rings were perfectly breaded, had no excess oil anywhere to be found and had a crisp audible crunch every time you bit into them. Add to this experience a quiet dining area with a well varied soup and salad bar which I was glad to see had pickled beets which are a personal favorite and that the staff are very on top of refills of your beverages and making sure you have all you need. The meal was well worth the trip and we will be back.“

“Awsome burgers and and onion rings“

“Raw is easily the best cocktail lounge in The Quad Cities. They use fresh, quality ingredients in their food and drinks. Everything's wonderfully curated. A rare big city feel while still being intimate. The bartenders are the best ever! They are really friendly and great at crafting premium cocktails! A true gem for downtown Davenport!“

“Anthony is the best mixologist anywhere. The menu is five star. Charcuterie served for 2,4, or 6. Whatever you do, don’t eat before getting there. Gary & Patty.“

“karoke with robert , 🎤,the food&bargirls,allens ok too😁“

“Only good thing about this place is the view. Went last night to celebrate a birthday and I spent more time waiting for my beer than being able to sit down and enjoy my time. 10+ minute wait for a beer with only 5 People around the bar is pretty ridiculous. Needless to say I was pretty upset by the end of the night.“

“I was not prepared for the insane amount of beer on tap! Incredible selection, and a knowledgeable bartender that helped me narrow down exactly what I wanted. The food was delicious, and there was a variety of seating options. I also got a free beer with my entree“

“Went to Uncle Pete's Gyros yesterday and had the best experience tge food was amazing and staff is so great . The owners knew we were celebrating my moms heavenly birthday and came out w a special dessert to help honor her ❤️ they let us share our memories of her and her love for there family and gyros . Thank you for helping putting joy into a day that we often feel sad .“

“This is a great place to eat. Our waitress had perfect timing, checking on us when needed while still allowing us to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. She provided excellent service. If you’re in the area and feeling hungry, you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend it, especially for families.“

“We love Miss Mamie's! We often go for special events, like birthdays and anniversaries. Usually, we get the catfish and the crab cakes. This time we went in for carry-out and got the catfish dinner, spinach salad, and beef stroganoff. Great portions (we got two meals each from that order), wonderful, friendly service, and some of the best food in the QC.“

“Hands down best breakfast in the QC.. come every Sunday!!! Nothing compares“

“A great place to play games and enjoy a nice dinner with family!“

“The Family Restaurant is a go to for my wife and I. They have incredible food with staff that is always friendly and ready to serve. There is a small discount for paying with cash. They serve any food all day.
You will not regret giving this place a try!“

“Chef prepared an excellent tender Prime Rib for Christmas Day dinner. My bartender/server Aleah was Awesome, energetic, polite, efficient and handled the pressures of a busy Christmas rush with ease! Next night, I had the spinach beet and artichoke salad that was delicious as was the Filet Mignon. Again, Aleah gave me an excellent dining experience and went above and beyond... Thanks for great service and food. Too bad the casino experience was not the same....“

“My family of 4 and I each had an order of 3 tacos, followed by ice cream as a dessert. The tacos are so delicious! The shells are fried, and they really taste just as good as ordering them from a mexican restaurant! They come with your choice of meat (chicken or burger), lettuce, cheese, and tomato. My daughter doesn't care for lettuce or tomato on hers. When we go other places and she gets the same, they are pretty skimpy with the fillings. Not at Finn's! Even with just meat and cheese, these were STUFFED! Finn's definitely hooks you up on the fillings! The ice cream we had for dessert was SO good - like a homestyle ice cream: rich flavor, smooth and creamy. Highly recommend - 5/5 ⭐'s! Their food is amazing, fast service, friendly staff, laid back atmosphere, awesome decor, plenty of seating, and they also host events and fun things from time to time! Not to mention Joe is an amazing owner who gives back to his commuinty!“
